Oransi Ionic Fridge Air Purifier Giveaway Ends 8/6

Oransi, based in Austin, TX, develops green cleaning products such as air purifiers to clean the air so you and those around you can breathe easier, sleep better and feel rejuvenated. The number of children and adults who suffer from allergies and asthma has continued to increase and our air purifiers provide high performance without the features you really don’t need. We also sell highly efficient laundry cleaning products that are better for you, your wallet and the environment. They are an innovative company with a passion towards all things clean. The Oransi Ionic Fridge air purifier cleans the air in your refrigerator so it smells amazing.

The Oransi Fridge air purifier is an economical way to refresh any kitchen. This tiny kitchen gadget (it’s only 2” x 4” – about the size of a large lemon) easily fits into any fridge and silently removes all bacteria and odors.

It helps fruits and veggies stay fresher longer thereby reducing food waste which saves money on your grocery bill. Best of all, it eliminates the strange stink that can sometimes fill your fridge and kitchen. There are no expensive filters to replace and no harmful ozone. It takes 2 AA batteries (not included) which last up to 3 months on average. Your butter will never taste like last night’s fish supper again.

*Review by Pea of Sweetness*

   

 I was excited to try the Oransi Ionic Air Fridge Purifier! I love natural products, and we often have a lot of produce at one time. One thing that really appealed to me was that it can keep produce fresher longer! I knew we could put this to the test! I often get disappointed as our family love strawberries, and although we eat them rather quickly they seem to go bad by the next day! It is always such a waste! Once we put the purifier in our refrigerator we actually did finish the strawberries before they went bad! That hasn't happened in a long time! The Ionic Air Fridge Purifier is quiet, discreet, and you really could put it just about anywhere in the fridge! Not only could I see saving money by wasting lest food, but it's also cost efficient because it takes two AA batteries that can last from 45-90 days! It has an indicator to let you know when the batteries are low. My husband asked me how often we'd have to change the filter and how much they cost. Well, that's another plus - there is NO filter! The only thing you'll have to purchase are two AA batteries every 2-3 months! That's it! If you have kids you probably have a constant supply of AA batteries anyway! :) Another thing we noticed was how quickly this little purifier made a difference. I set it up, put it in the fridge, and within an hour our fridge smelled like nothing. That's a big deal. Usually it smells like a variety of things, but when you open it now there is no scent at all! One thing that really bothers me is when I make fresh brewed tea and the next day it has this "off taste" to it, and since using this purifier it still tastes fresh! Oransi Ionic Fridge Air Purifier is available online at an affordable price of $29.

Giveaway!

One lucky winner will receive an Oransi Ionic Fridge Air Purifier!

Walk In Sync Giveaway Ends 7/31

We are so proud to welcome you to the Walk In Sync Giveaway Event 

hosted by Schmoozing With Betsy

Special thank you to Walk In Sync for sponsoring this fantastic event & co-host Book Cover Justice

About Walk In Sync

Alecia Evans designed the Walk In Sync system to make the dogs and their pet humans less stressed when out walking. Since 2001, Alecia has been a professional trainer. She believed there had to be a better more humane way to train your dog to walk with you, to stop the pulling and frustration for both the dog and the dog owner.

I was a bit skeptical to try  this harness and leash combo. I have tried everything to have my dogs
walk with me and not against me. I love my dogs, Watson and Lily so much, but, it was always stressful trying to go for walks with them. Watson and Lily love to lead. They are half German Shepherd and half Golden Retrievers weighing 85 plus pounds, so, needless to say, they walked me!

I tried everything, took them to doggy behavior school where they had me first fit them with choke chains, but, they continued to pull to get to the other dogs so they could play. Wouldn't you know I had to have the class clowns! The instructor there then fitted them with the "torture" collars. I don't know what they are called professionally, but, they have rounded spikes that dig into the dogs necks...I couldn't bare hurting them to have them walk with me. I want them to enjoy walking not have pain from it.

The next thing I tried was the leash that also goes up and around the nose. Ohhhh, they didn't like that at all! In fact, it says to let them have their temper tantrum and then they will see that you are boss and they will get used to it. My dogs are more stubborn than the dogs in that video. My poor Watson would walk a little bit and then rub his nose with his paw and on the ground so much that when we got home he had a raw and tender spot on his nose.

frustrated and searching the web, I saw the Walk In sync site and decided to write to Alecia, who was kind enough to provide me with the Walk In Sync system! Thank you Sweetie.

I was so excited when they came in. I was amazed at how well made they are! I fitted them to my dogs and off we went. Lily is a fast learner. When she pulled and I stopped, she would sit down and wait, Watson was another story, he kept wanting to pull but was getting nowhere, so after about 2/3 hour of working with him, he understood!

Now, walking is fun and enjoyable for all of us. Finally a system that didn't hurt my precious companions!

Prep Steps to Walking In Sync

1. Begin by clipping the leash to the D-ring at the chest
2. Slide your hand closest to the dog up the Accu-grip leash to the foam handle closest to the leash clip
3. Place your opposite hand through the loop
4. Drop your shoulders, take a deep breath and relax and leave your hand on the 1st handle relaxed by your side

Walk In Sync™ in 3 Easy Steps:

1. Begin by walking forward with your hand remaining at your side
2. Stop
3. If your dog is creating tension on the leash, it is important not to relieve them of the tension. Just stand still and wait in a relaxed manner. No need to even look at your dog until it takes the pressure off the leash on its own. Once they back up to the proper position, give it a pat on its side and let him or her know what a good dog they are.

Go back to Step 1:

1. Repeat a few times until the dog has the concept of moving or backing off of the pressure points.
